Danton

Now, by law, there are meant to be 12.

One of them, a guy called Hérault de Séchelles, was guillotined for corruption when Danton fell.

Another one, the youngest member, a man we've talked about a fair bit, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, he is away in what's now Belgium visiting the army.

He's having a lovely time.

How long do I have to stay on this papier-mâché mountain? Is it urgent?

Exactly, and they have become increasingly restive in recent months.

So when the arrest warrant was drawn up for Danton, Robert Lindet refused to sign it.

Carnot has had these blazing rows with Robespierre and Saint-Just.
